According to Confucius, “You should treat others the way you want to be treated.” Resembling Confucius’ golden rule, Harold Kushner’s “Shalom: The Quest for Integrity” talks about a man who did something good, when people didn’t think he would. While Marge Piercy isn’t writing about treating others a certain way, she is instead writing about being of good use.

Many people of Lawrence, Massachusetts, were worried about the economic impact from losing the textile mill due to the fire. However, the owner Aaron Feuerstein surprised everyone. People expected he would take advantage of the fire to move to a more profitable location. Feuerstein announced that not only was he going to rebuild the factory, but also workers would receive three months of payroll, even though there was no work. “Feuerstein is a special person, a man of integrity”, are there few people with integrity? Maybe is the reason Blanchard co-author the book called The Power of Ethical Management, “there’s no right way to do a wrong thing,” using the book as a plea to the business world. Directed to the people who do things to benefit themselves, but hurt others.

No because many of us wouldn’t; many don’t think about the consequences, or if it happened to themselves, before they do something. People commit wrong doing, to benefit themselves. “When I hear politicians and preachers condemning the sinful ways of society around them, I often agree with their criticisms, but I don’t hear the pain in their voices.” As stated in the text by Kushner, many...

Years ago springs of it were known at many localities, but its use was very limited. No method of purifying it was known, so that it was looked upon as valueless, and several wells bored for salt water were abandoned on account of the oil rendering the salt impure. In 1861 it was purified,...
